Vojtěchovská tower - 3061

A pleasant lookout tower, not only 59 steps high. Admission is paid and the cashier is very nice. Above is the possibility to use the built-in binoculars.

Vojtěchovská lookout tower is a tapering four-sided lookout tower in the cadastral territory of Vojtěchov in the Pardubice Region, in the Železné hory / Sečská vrchovina / Kameničská vrchovina nature area (meaning geomorphological complex / subdivision / district). The observation tower is operated by Vojtěchov, it is 16.5 m high and is built on an elevation with the geographic name Kladenský Hill (590 m) above the village, west of road III / 3061 connecting the village with road I / 34 (section Hlinsko - Krouna). The building is appealing to the eye. About half the height is a construction lined with granite stone. Although it was built near the area with traditional granite mining (Skuteč, Nasavrky), the stone was imported from Horní Dvorce near Jindřichův Hradec on the basis of the project. On the ground floor there is a service area with a cash register and souvenirs and 59 steps leading to the highest viewing platform. The upper half of the building is an open metal structure with three flats of shrinking viewing platforms, connected by a spiral staircase. A telescope is installed on the highest viewing platform at a height of 11.7 m, with a far view in the Northwest to East segment. In the vicinity of the village Vojtěchov, Raná, distant, for example, the city of Chrudim and the regional city of Pardubice. Seen from the point of view of natural localities Kameničská vrchovina and Skutečská pahorkatina in Železné hory, distant Svitava pahorkatina (eg the front ridge of Štěpánovská stupňovina) and also the ridge of the Upper Svratka Highlands above Krounou, with the peak of Velké paseky.

Above the lookout towards the south, the wooded peak part of the main ridge of the Iron Mountains prevents a distant view, stretching from Medkov Hills (638 m) to Čertovina (655 m) and Dědovský Hill (675.6 m) towards Kroun. There is no marked hiking trail leading to the lookout tower; it is accessible from the road during business hours according to the season (see photo).

Nice little lookout tower, there is no seasonal opening hours all year round. Possibility of small refreshments and purchase of tourist stamps. It has 59 steps.

Nice place, great idea with a small snack, we were surprised by the entrance fee, but otherwise it was nice, clean .. and the binoculars were definitely tested.

The best view (farthest) is said to be in autumn, but even in summer it is beautiful to see the Eagle and Giant Mountains. To the top only 59 steps ;-) Below a small snack.
